Figure Setup not working ????

Limey

I am trying to create my first rigging in Daz Stsudio. I have a simple box and a door which I have imported into the settings pane. The next step apparently is to drag and drop that item onto the geometry selection that exists on the right.

 Alas no matter how many times I try nothing happens.I am using Version 10.10 but I have tried to do this is 10.9 and the same problem exists in both versions.

 Questions are. Is this because the .obj model created in another 3D program is faulty in some way ?

                         Is my Wacom pen and tablet faulty in this particular instance? It is working normally in all other programs.

                         Is there something in Daz Studio that is not functioning as it should ?

                         Am I missing some vital piece of information that will allow me to perform what should be a very simple task ?

Of course moving on to the next step is impossible and extremely frustrating until I resolve this problem. Any guidence or suggestions will be very much appreciated.

 Thanks

Drag and drop geometry onto far left panel of Setup. Next drag drop face groups into a figure hierarchy.

I guess you have no DS: FaceGroups / ZBrush:PolyGroups / Blender: VertexGroups in your exported OBJ file. DS is looking for those Group informations in the OBJ file to create bones for them in the Figure Setup pane.

Import the OBJ first in the usual way open the Tool Settings pane and select the Geometry Editor and have a look if any FaceGroups gets imported. If not well maybe you can create them from the Surface Groups or otherwise get the export right to include the original groups in the other 3D program you are using.

I've made a few (kind of tutorial) videos about the Figure Setup and creating Face Groups with the Geometry Editor also including the Transfer Utility and creating a GeoGraft in Daz Studio. I've start to use the Figure Setup in the second video.
